And that’s how they lost mobile to Arm, because before the iPhone, Intel wasn’t serious about mobile because of lower profit margins. Then when the mistake became obvious, they instead wasted billions trying to catch up quickly! And when that failed they gave up!

I am old enough to remember when there were x86 smartphones (very niche, they weren't available where I lived around that time, but they were in the news). This is spot on.

There were also x86 (Atom) based Android phones. For instance Asus sold them.
I don't think that's much more than 10 years ago.

That's what I am referring to. Seems like they got into the market in 2012 or so.

I remember thinking it would be a bad idea to get one.
